I tried the Conquest by running in the parking lot of the store. They were narrower and firmer than the Bondi 3. Not as narrow as the Rapa Nui it seemed. My feet were landing and rolling better in the Conquest than the Rapa Nui, but not as well as i…

Try 'The Stick' for your calves. You can really localize in on spots with it. Like this one:http://www.amazon.com/The-Stick-19-inch-Sprinter/dp/B000P7LY1W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392235225&sr=8-1&keywords=sprinter+stick
Also, use a tenni…

My son has a pair of Sayonara and a tread section in the forefoot started peeling away after only 150 miles. Fortunately I was able to exchange them for a new pair yesterday. It looks like the little tread nubs are attached to a fabric section which…

Eric, I haven't run much in the 5.0, so I won't comment on that as far as running. I forgot to mention the Asics isn't considered a real responsive shoe from most reviews I've read. I would agree, just thought I'd throw it out for a flexible trainer…

No apology needed for liking the Frees, I have over 460 miles currently on a pair of Free 3.0 v3. I don't care about the fashion aspect of the Frees, I just find the 3.0 and 5.0 exceedingly comfortable.
Here's a couple other shoes you might try, alt…

The GoBionic have a lot thinner sole than the Kinvara 3. Just over half the thickness in the forefoot. Very noticeable to me. I like the Kinvara, but the GoBionic are a little thin for me. However, I do wear them for everyday use. So when you say "t…

Does he have full mobility in the ankle? Did some other part of the body lock up to protect the ankle when he had the injury? Any physical therapist/kinesiologist you can see to get his motion checked?

I did a comparison today between the GoRun 2 and Kinvara 3 to determine which pair I want to wear in a trail race next weekend. I did the same 3 mile trail loop in each with about a mile of uphill and a mile down. I was leaning slightly towards the …

I tried the GoBionic Ride on in the store. It has basically the same fit as the GoBionic which I wear for daily use. More forefoot room than the GoRun 2s. The GoBionic Ride have a firmer feel than the GR2.

I've had the PureFlows since day 1. At the time the Kinvaras were too narrow for me. The Kinvara 3 has a different fit and seems a little wider in the toe box than the Kinvara 1&2, but maybe still just a tad narrower than the Pureflow. After a c…

The guy in the Skechers store said the GoBionic Ride have a 4mm drop vs 0mm for the regular GoBionic. I think I've also seen this online. He also said it had about 25% more cushion, but I haven't seen that anywhere and was unable to really tell that…
